This Scholarship Changes Lives

Hear what past winners have said about winning a Beat The GMAT Scholarship:

Winning the 2011 GMAT Scholarship was both a humbling and empowering experience. I come from a non-traditional business background and it gave me the confidence to compete for a top MBA program. I am currently taking my prep course and I cannot see myself taking the GMAT without the preparation that my course has given me. This scholarship has taken me a step closer to achieving my dreams.Stephanie Puentes, 2011 Beat The GMAT Scholarship Winner

It’s been a whirlwind year! Winning the 2010 Beat The GMAT Scholarship set me on the path to achieving my MBA dream. Coming from a non-traditional pre-MBA background, it gave me the confidence to know that I can be a competitive applicant. Without BTG’s assistance and belief in me, I don’t think I’d be where I am today.

GMAT course prizes and Admissions Consulting packages will be awarded based on applicant preference and availability. How we distribute prizes: there is only one GMAT course and one Admissions Consulting package available from each company listed above (unless otherwise stated). In your application, you will be asked to rank order the courses you wish to attend and the consulting packages you are interested in. The first-place winner will win his/her top preference GMAT course from the total pool of eight packages available; next, the second-place winner will win his/her top preference based on the remaining pool of seven course packages; next, the third-place winner will win his/her top preference based on the remaining pool of six packages; and so forth. The same process applies for the consulting packages: the first-place winner will receive his/her top choice; next, the second-place winner will receive his/her top choice of the remaining seven consulting packages; and so on.

A panel of judges represented by the Beat The GMAT Staff as well as past Beat The GMAT Scholarship winners will decide this year’s winners. Our panel will not provide personal feedback on your application after the competition.

All of the GMAT courses listed above are available via online unless otherwise noted.
